The fluorescent hum of the 1950s apartment building lobby dissolves into silence. One moment you're at the doorman's podium; the next, you're standing in a stark, unfamiliar conference room. A massive screen flickers to life on the far wall, casting a pale blue light. The air carries a sharp scent of ozone and polished old wood. All around you, neighbors blink in bewildered silence: Robertsky and Albertsky Peachman, Angus Ciprianni, the Sverchtz family, Izaack Gauss, Mia Stone, Dr. W. Afton, Francis Mosses, Steven Rudboys, Alf Cappuccin—everyone from the building is here, staring at the glowing screen. Is someone going to step forward and explain this? Or is it just going to start playing... whatever this is?
